INTEODUCTKOT. 



Publius Ovidius Naso, usually known as Ovid, 
was born b.c. 43 at Sulmo (Sulmone) in the hill- 
country of the Peligni, about 90 miles east of Eome ; 
Julius Caesar had been murdered the year before, 
and the time of Ovid's birth is memorable for the 
defeat of Mark Antony before Mutina (Modena). 

He came of an old equestrian family and was 
intended for a lawyer; he spent some time at 
Athens and also travelled in Asia and Sicily; but 
following the bent of his mind, he gave himself up 
unreservedly to poetry, after filling some minor 
offices in the capital. For many years his life in 
Eome was exactly to his mind; he was the friend of 
the greater poets of the day, Horace, Gallus, Tibul- 
lus, and Propertius, and of the Emperor himself. 
But suddenly, a.d. 8, when he was 50 years of age, 
he received the order to leave Italy at once and go 
to Tomi, on the west shore of the Black Sea, near 
the mouths of the Danube. It has never been quite 
ascertained how he had offended Augustus : he had 
probably mixed himself up, intentionally or other- 
wise, in some court intrigue. His unceasing en- 
ix 



X OVID. 

treaties for recall, backed up by powerful friends 
in Rome, were beginning to move Augustus, when 
he died; but his successor, Tiberius, turned a deaf 
ear to the poet's complaints, and in his bleak home, 
after ten miserable years, Ovid died an exile in his 
60th year, a.i>. 17. 

He was three times married: his first two wives 
he divorced; with the third he appears to have 
lived happily, although she did not go with him to 
Tomi. 

His works are voluminous and form three classes : 
(i.) Elegiac, including tie* * Fasti,' or poetical cal- 
endar of the Roman year; l Heroides/ letters from 

celebrated mythical heroines; 'Tristia.' in live 
books; 'Epistulae ex l'onto.' in tour books written 
from Tomi, (ii.) Fifteen books of the 'Metamor- 
phoses' (/xeTa/xo/3c/)oj(r£t9). adapted from G reek writers, 
containing legends of transformations from the 
human form into animals, plants, etc., (iii.) His 
tragedy ( MedeaJ praised by Quintilian and others, 
but not extant. 

The present collection is made from the 'Tiroci- 
nium Poeticum ' of Siebelis, with one addition. At 
the desire of the Publishers w r e have added a few 
exercises in Latin Hexameter verse. 

[In the vocabulary, a few words which are some- 
times written with a j appear under that heading, 
but are printed in the text with an i.]

I. 
(Met. v. 438-461.) 

Ceres, during her search for her lost daughter Proserpine, is 
insulted by a rude boy, ivhom she turns into a lizard. 

Istterea pavidae nequiquani filia matri 
omnibus est terris, omni quaesita profundo. 
Illam non udis veniens Aurora capillis 
cessantem vidit, non Hesperus ; ilia duabus 
flammiferas pinus manibus succendit ab Aetna, 5 
perque pruinosas tulit irrequieta tenebras. 
Rursus ubi alma dies hebetarat sidera, natam 
solis ab occasu solis quaerebat ad ortus. 
Fessa labore sitim collegerat, oraque nulli 
colluerant fontes, cum tectam stramine vidit 10 

forte casam parvasque fores pulsavit ; at inde 
prodit anus divamque videt lymphamque roganti 
dulce dedit, tosta quod texerat ante polenta. 



z OVJD — 8T0BIE8 

Dum bibit ilia datum, duri puer oris et audax 
constitit ante deam risitque avidamque vocavit, 15 
Offensa est, neque adhuc epota parte loquentera 
cum liquido mixta perfudit diva polenta. 
Combibit os maculas et, quae modo bracchia gesfeit, 
crura gerit ; cauda est mutatis addita meinbris; 
inque brevem formam, ne sit vis magna nocendi, 20 
contraliitur, parvaque minor men sura lacerta est. 
Mirantem flen tern que et tangere monstra parantem 
fugit anum latebramque petit, aptumque colon 
nomen habet, variis stellatus corpora guttis. 



II. 
Battus (ii. 680-707). 

While Apollo, then serving in Messenia as a shepherd^ was 
playing on hispipes, Mercury stole /us cattle. No one saw the 
theft except Battus, icho having betrayed the god was changed 
into a flint 

Delphice, ternpus erat, quo te pastoria pellis 
texit onusque fuit baculum silvestre sinistrae, 
alterius dispar septenis fistula cannis. 
Dumque amor est curae, dum te tua fistula mulcet,

processisse boves. Videt has Atlantide Maia 
natus et arte sua silvis occultat abactas. 



FROM THE METAMORPHOSES. 6 

Senserat hoc furtum nemo nisi notus in illo 
rure senex, — Battum vicinia tota vocabant. 
Divitis hie salt us herbosaque pascua Nelei 10 

nobiliumque greges custos servabat equarum. 
Hunc timuit blandaque manu seduxit et illi 
" Quisquis es, hospes," ait " si forte armenta requiret 
haec aliquis, vidisse nega. aSTeu gratia facto 
nulla rependatur, nitidam cape praemia vaccam." 15 
Et dedit. Accepta voces has reddidit hospes : 
" Tutus eas ; lapis iste prius tua furta loqnetur : " 
et lapidem ostendit. Sinmlat love natus abire, 
mox redit et versa pariter cum voce figura, 
"Eustice, vidisti si quas hoc limite" dixit 20 

" ire boves, f er opem furtoque silentia deme ! 
km eta suo pretium dabitur tibi femina tauro." 
At senior, postquam merces geminata, " Sub illis 
montibus " inquit " erunt." Et erant sub montibus 

illis. 
Eisit Atlantiades et " Me mihi, perfide, prodis ? 25 
me mihi prodis ? " ait, periuraque pectora vertit 
in durum silicem, qui nunc quoque dicitur Index; 
inque nihil merito vetus est infamia saxo.

Tivo pious Phrygians give hospitality to Jove and Mercury, 
who come in likeness of men.

VI. 
Midas (xi. 87-193). 

Bacchus, grateful to Midas, king of Phrygia, for bringing 
back Silerais to him, grants him a boon. He chooses that all 
that he touches shall be changed to gold. This gift which 
brings disastrous results is cancelled; but Midas having shown 
his want of taste in preferring Pan's music to Apollo's is con- 
demned to wear the ears of an ass.

per bis quinque dies et iunctas ordine noctes. 10 
Et iam stellarum sublime coegerat agmen 
Lucifer undecimus, Lydos cum laetus in agros 
rex venit et iuveni Silenum reddit alumno. 
Huic deus optandi gratum, sed inutile, fecit 
muneris arbitrium, gaudens altore recepto. 15

Cadmus founds Thebes (iii. 7-130). 

Cadmus, wandering in Greece under the guidance of Apollo, 
encounters a huge dragon, which kills his companions. After 
a fierce fight he slays the monster, and at the bidding of Pallas 
soivs its teeth in the ground. Straightivay there springs up 
a crop of armed men, loho turn their weapons against each 
other and fight until only five are left alive. With these sur- 
vivors he founds the city of Thebes. 

Profugus patriamque iramque parentis 
vitat Agenorides Phoebique oracula supplex 
consulit et, quae sit tellus habitanda requirit. 
"Bos tibi" Phoebus ait "solis oecurret in arvis, 
nullum passa iugum curvique immunis aratri : 5 
hac duce carpe vias et, qua requieverit lierba, 
moenia fac condas Boeotiaque ilia vocato." 

Vix bene Castalio Cadmus descenderat antro : 
incustoditam lente videt ire iuvencam, 
nullum servitii signum cervice gerentem. 10 

Subsequitur pressoque legit vestigia gressu

ad caelum frontem, mugitibus impulit auras, 15 

atque ita respiciens comites sua terga sequentes, 
procubuit teneraque latus submisit in herba. 
Cadmus agit grates, peregrinaeque oscula terrae 
figit et ignotos montes agrosque salutat; 
sacra Iovi facturus erat : iubet ire ministros 20 

et petere e vivis libandas fontibus undas. 
Silva vetus stabat, nulla violata securi,

efficiens humilem lapidum compagibus arcum, 
uberibus fecuudus aquis ; ubi conditus antro 25 

Martius anguis erat, cristis praesignis et auro : 
igne micant oculi, corpus tumet omne veneno, 
tresque vibrant linguae, triplici stant ordine dentes. 
Quern postquam Tyria lucum de gente profecti 
infausto tetigere gradu, demissaque in undas 30 

urna dedit sonitum, longo caput extulit antro 
caeruleus serpens horrendaque sibila misit. 
Effluxere urnae manibus, sangnisque relinquit 
corpus et attonitos subitus tremor occupat artus. 
Ille volubilibus squamosos nexibus orbes 35

At non duritia iaculum quoque vicit eadem,

MacmillaiVs Shorter Latin Course. 

By A. M. COOK, M.A. 

A BOOK FOR BEGINNERS IN LATIN, 

With Exercises of Gradually Increasing Difficulty, and 
Easy Passages for Translation. 

AMERICAN EDITION 

Revised, and Adapted to American Schools, by James C. Egbert, Ph.D., 
Instructor of Latin in Columbia College. 

18mo. 40 cents. 

The Saturday Review says: "The book is a good one. The exer- 
cises are plentiful, and the words which they contain are such as will be 
useful to learners when they pass on to higher work." 

The Literary World says: " The young learner who cannot ' get on 
with ' his Latin under so simple and gently-progressive a course as Mr. 
Cook has here laid down, had better be allowed to give it up altogether. 
The teacher's work has been greatly simplified and lessened by the 
omission of any advanced rules or complex examples. . . . The book 
seems to us admirably suited for girls' schools as well as for boys', and 
it is marvellously well printed and got up for the price charged." 

The Glasgow Herald says: "This manual is admirably adapted to 
the Latin requirements of the Scotch Code for the first year. All the 
ground is covered, and the exercises for translation from and into Latin 
are numerous and judiciously arranged. The plan of the book is one 
by which the pupil is made to take stock of his knowledge at every step, 
and security is thus got for the foundation in Latin grammar being soundly 
laid. The book is likely to become a favorite. . . . The book is admir- 
ably simple and practical."

The 8chool Hoard Chronicle says: "Caesar's Invasion is a very 
useful combination of a reading book and an exercise book for beginners. 
It is furnished with an excellent map of Britain as known to the Romans, 
and with two vocabularies, — English and Latin, and Latin and English. 
At the beginning of each chapter is wisely given a summary of the sense ; 
this will be found a great help to beginners. The notes are admirable, — 
short, to the point, and very practical." 

The Saturday Review says: "The notes, which deal chiefly with 
simple points of syntax, are short and generally sutlicient."

A COMPANION 



SCHOOL CLASSICS. 

By JAMES GOW, M.A., Litt.D., 

Head Master of the High School, Nottingham. Late Fellow of Trinity 
College, Cambridge. 

Second Edition, Revised. With Illustrations 

12mo. $1.75. 

" By ' school classics ' I mean classics with commentaries for use in 
schools, and by describing the book as a 'companion' to these, I mean 
that it attempts to give the information which a commentator is, from 
the nature of his task, compelled to assume even in a young student. 
My aim is to place before a young student a nucleus of well-ordered 
knowledge, to which he is to add intelligent notes and illustrations from 
his daily reading." — From the Preface. 

" Mr. Grow has presented a vast amount of information in a small 
compass; yet it is so well arranged, and so clearly stated, that, notwith- 
standing its condensation, it is read with ease and pleasure. Indeed, 
we do not know where to look for so good an account of Athenian and 
Roman public affairs in a form at once clear, concise, and full enough 
for ordinary students as Mr. Gow has here given us." — Science. 

"He has made use of the most recent authorities, and the young 
student will find the pith of many books in the space of less than 400 
pages. . . . Much of the information would be sought to no purpose 
in the ordinary manuals, and what is given is conveyed in its true 
connection." — Xation. 

"Excellently planned and admirably executed. The author — for Mr. 
G-ow is more than a compiler — has had a distinct object in view. He is 
a distinguished student of the classics, and he is an eminent practical 
teacher. With such qualifications, we turn with confidence to a reliable 
book." — Educational Times.

This little book contains a number of interesting stories in easy Latin 
verse. It is therefore commended to teachers who consider Virgil too 
difficult for a first verse reader, and yet have very little time for work 
that is not " required." In the American edition the notes have been re- 
written, the vocabulary revised, and references added to the grammars 
of Allen and Greenough, Gildersleeve, and Harkness.
